In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

A recent study published in EMBO Reports by researchers from Osaka University and Nara Medical University sheds light on a fundamental process within cells-microautophagy-that plays a crucial role in ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Working out doesn't just build muscle but, in later life, helps maintain a powerful cellular machine that repairs damaged ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered how the cells that let us hear can repair themselves after being damaged. That important insight could benefit efforts to develop ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...

When tissue is severely damaged, surviving cells can respond in a concentrated burst of biological repair known as ...

Many of us are resigned to the fact that we’ll naturally lose some of our hearing as we age, but there may be a way to slow that down. Scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA) have identified a ...
